Hi Bruce: “Here Come the Jets” is one that I’ve never heard of – you stumped me on that one. I’m still looking for a copy of “Thundering Jets”, another obscure 50s jet title

The ‘preflight test’ is probably at the O club.

You have a pretty good idea of sources and information on 50′s aviation films like TTU. Have you ever run across “Here Come the Jets” and more importantly found a copy?

I really wan to see pilots battle treacherous wind tunnels!!! Not to mention the amazing preflight tests.

Not to be confused with the song Here come the jets from West Side Story or Brian Eno’s Here come the warm jets.

I have original Bell blueprints for the Bell X-2 – though locating them may prove a bit of a headache. If the Planes of Fame folks will take the time to contact me directly via my e-mail, I’ll see what I can do to give ‘em some help. Have several hundred original X-2 photographs, as well. Jay Miller

Does anyone have any scale drawings, even from this model? I am the team leader of the restoration for static display of the
Bell X-2 Starbuster replica at the Planes of Fame Air Museum. The horizontals are missing and we would like to have the dimensions
of the horizntal stabilizers to have a set made for the aircraft.
Thanks for any help.

Looks good, Carrie….. The Bell X-2 was the finest X-Plane to be built and flown….
